IMPROVED CARRIAGE-STEP.

HM I

r The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ofthe same.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE PANoHoT, ofHastings, in the county of Dakota, and State of Minnesota, have inventeda new and improved Carriage-Step; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing isa full, clear, and exact description of the construction andoperation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying.drawings, making a part of this specification, in which Figure l is. aperspective view, and

Figure2 is a modification of my invention.

, The object of this invention is to provide a neat, simple, and cheapattachable and removable step for wagons and other carriages. 1n thedrawings, A represents the body of the carriage, and B is a smallplatform or step, of wood or other suitable material, attached to itslower edge by means of supporting-bars, b b, or in any other manner thatmay be preferred. At theinner edge of this platform are fixed eye-bolts,a a, fig. 1.

p The removable step is represented at O, and consists of a single rod,of iron or other suitable material, bent nearly or quite at right anglesat c, c, and c, as shown in fig. 1, or it may be made as shown in fig.2. In both figures the hook formed by the angle 0 is inserted into theeye-bolt.

In, order to connect the rod 0 with the eyes which hold it, the lowerend of the rod must be raised a lit r 1', when the carriage is very highfrom the ground.

A step thus constructed can be attached or removed in a moment. It issimple, light, inexpensive, neat in appearance, and not liable to getout of order.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is I Theattachable and removable carriage-step, constructed substantially asabove, described.
